“Hello, my name is Sam Thompson and I’ve just taken up post as the new Children and Families worker at Christ Church and the Christian Centre. Before starting this role I was a primary school teacher and school leader for 34 years and loved every minute of it. I retired from education in the summer and am now looking forward to using my experiences to develop work with children and families across both churches. 

I’m originally from Birmingham but have lived in Yorkshire (South and West) for over 20 years; I love it here. I have two adult sons who both still live in Yorkshire too. I have been a Christian and, mainly, URC member since I attended Sunday School in Birmingham.

I love music and singing (though very enthusiastically rather than well), reading and crochet.
